Blitz Report Deletion History - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
Blitz Report Deletion History is an audit and recovery tool. It tracks reports that have been deleted from the system. Crucially, it can be used to recover accidentally deleted reports because Blitz Report often performs a “soft delete” or archives the definition before removal.
Business Challenge
- Accidental Deletion: A developer intends to delete a test report but accidentally deletes the production version.
- Audit Trail: Security requires a log of who deleted a critical financial report and when.
- Recovery: Restoring the SQL logic of a deleted report without having to rewrite it from scratch.
Solution
This report queries the history tables (XXEN_REPORTS_H) to find records where the report status indicates deletion.
- Recovery: The SQL text and parameters are preserved in the history table, allowing them to be copied back into a new report definition.
- Purge: The description notes that this history can be permanently purged using the ‘Blitz Report Monitor’ concurrent program.
Technical Architecture
Key Tables
XXEN_REPORTS: The active report table.XXEN_REPORTS_H: The history table that stores version changes and deleted records.
Logic
The report filters the history table for records that represent a deletion event.
Parameters
- (None listed in the README, but likely supports standard filters like Date or User if customized).
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
